Being two can sometimes be tough! Not sure if you remember when you were two, but life is not always a vacation. Through thick and thin though, we all seem to make it through that time with a lot of help from our friends and a bunch of love from our family. A little love and laughter is all you need to put a smile on your little face, and set your ship sailing in the right directions. A huge thanks to our great family from last night’s sunset for doing just that. With a whole lot of love, and a good bit of parental comfort, our session went off without a hitch. We completely understand it is just not of a two year olds agenda to want to spend any amount of time on vacation working with a Professional Photographer. I can almost guarantee you that is the last thing they ever want todo. From a two year olds standpoint, that is just not a fun thing todo. With this in mind our goal with toddlers is not about photography, but instead about fun! We work as a team, and with smiling faces and a whole bag of puppets, […]

On occasion we are blessed with family photography sessions with grown children instead of two year olds. Not that we don’t love two year olds, because we do, but it is also nice to have a little adult time. Tonight’s beach sessions was one of those adult time sessions. What a blessing it was too. The sunset was just perfect and the weather was probably the best we will have all year. I mean it was absolutely perfect for beach photography and a little family time. With a little warmth in the air and cool sand between our toes, we just couldn’t ask for anything more. Today’s shot of the day is very special to me. It is a shot of a mother and her two daughters sharing a moment in time. Something I am positive they will all cherish forever. As simple as it sounds, walking hand in hand with your children on the beach should be something ever parent experience. Not only does it say, “Hey we are finally on vacation, but we are on vacation together as a family!” In my opinion, if everyone took a family vacation, this world would be a better place. Too many […]

What a storybook end to an epic day. A few weeks ago we get a call from a nervous beau wanting to surprise his girlfriend with a pop the question type session. He had an idea of tying seashells together with long runs of string and little notes professing his love in between. At the end of the string he would then attach a treasure chest with a beautiful engagement ring. Well considering she really liked finding seashells, the stage was set for tonights sunset. Oh man, what a show. Not only did it go off without a hitch, she was caught totally off guard, and had no clue. Of course she said yes, and then proceeded to jump for joy for a few minutes. I mean, it was like Ed McMain had shown up at their house. She was so happy, and his grin was from ear to ear. It was such an awesome event to witness. Let me tell you, the romance was flying in Orange Beach tonight!!! With that sting, our lucky gal caught herself one of the few good ones left. His forethought and planning really paid off. Thank you so much guys for allowing […]

The old saying is so true, boy will always be boys. Even more so when mom is around, because they know if mom is happy, everyone is happy. These two young men were so eager to make mom happy at last nights sunset session! I am almost positive that after diner, she took them to the souvenir store and probably got them both a baby alligator because they did so well at the photography session. We meet these two young men for the first time four years ago. Mom just had to schedule a session this trip to get one last family photo before the birds started flying the coup. I mean these two have grown up so fast. It is amazing how time flies so quickly. Thanks again guys for being so well behaved and for calling us to be your Perdido Key family photographer for the second time. We really enjoyed working with your family again, and hope you have a wonderful spring break with on vacation at the beach. If your family is visiting Perdido Key this summer, we would love to schedule a session with you. You can reach us anytime by checking out our website […]

As sure as the sun rises in the east it will always set in the west. Thus we will always be here waiting patiently for that exact moment to catch a perfect family beach portrait, no matter what the conditions are or what life throws at us. This is the main reason we chose to be professional beach photographers. We love the challenge and we thrive on catching moments in time. Sun Shots’ strives on doing it well enough that our art turns into family heirlooms. As we often ask our clients, “What will you remember?”, we in turn work tirelessly to make their answer, “Every little detail because our art is so unique and professional!” We are positive our clients from last nights session will have that same response. We had a wonderful session, and glad we got to work with this great family. So as we said before, as sure as the sun shines, we were there to make sure everything fit into place, and the session went off without a hitch! That is why we work as a team, because it truly does take both of us to handle every given situation. From posing the shot, capturing the […]
